[QUOTE="slsh, post: 459066, member: 8"] The Navy Hospital used to give us a cream but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was - had 3 ingredients. But post-Navy, Desitin was and still is my go-to remedy. Boo had a problem with a shearing sore on his buttock last year and the wound clinic dr. told us to use Desitin for that as well (I was freaking out because of the open wound in diaper area and my total paranoia about infection) - Desitin worked like a charm. It's a matter of getting a really *thick* layer (don't rub in, just slather on) to provide a total barrier. With the shearing sore (and in the old days with diaper rash), we also exposed his posterior to air as much as possible. Used the Desitin when he was in his wheelchair or going to sleep, but the rest of the time we had him propped on his side, mooning us. :winking: Has the possibility of a yeast infection been ruled out? I'm thinking one of my boys had that when they were in diapers (probably Boo) - I remember using Monostat on the skin to clear that up, but it was a confirmed yeast infection. [/QUOTE]
